 There are two broad categories of debt. There is debt that costs you money without creating anything productive in return. Then there is debt where the interest may be tax-deductible because the borrowed money is used to generate income. For most Canadian homeowners, their mortgage falls into the first category. That is not because a mortgage has to stay that way. It is usually because nobody has shown them how to structure it differently. The Smith Manoeuvre™ is a structured Canadian mortgage strategy that gradually converts non-deductible mortgage debt into tax-deductible investment debt. It works one mortgage payment at a time. It does not require you to increase your regular mortgage payment. It does not require a dramatic lifestyle change. Instead, it applies a different structure to the mortgage you are already paying. Here are three reasons Canadian homeowners are taking a closer look.

 The furnace is running. The house should be warm.
But every window is wide open. You can turn the heat up, run the furnace all day, and use every resource available. But if the windows stay open, you will continue losing heat. The problem is not always how much heat you are generating. Sometimes, the problem is how much is escaping. That is a useful way to think about your finances. You may be working hard, earning a good income, and making every mortgage payment on time. But interest and taxes can quietly drain a significant amount of your lifetime wealth. Your income is the furnace. The open windows are the financial leaks. And if you never look for those leaks, simply earning more money may not solve the problem. |
